Having a digital strategy is more important now than it ever has been. Consumers are using their digital devices to research, compare and purchase products more than anything else. As marketers, we have to know where and how we want to reach our customers. Building your Digital Strategy is more similar to building an Ice Cream Sundae than you thought... Get ready for summer and check out how to start!
2. Digital Strategy & Ice Cream?
YES! Both require:
•Planning
•Innovation
•Taste for success
•Lots of hot fudge
3. Oops, that last one is just for Sundaes. Actually, maybe not?
4. The point is,
you have to get
creative and
build a strategy
before you can
enjoy the
benefits.
My sand castle
rules, but I’d
rather build a
sundae…
5. I know what an Ice Cream Sundae is, But what the heck is a Digital Strategy?
6. We’re so glad you asked!
Ceeonsoft’s definition goes as follows:
A digital strategy is a company’s blueprint to the objectives, ideas and execution for their presence in the digital world relating to customer experience and engagement.
7. Let’s break it down and do that “Step-by-step” thing…
Or… sprinkle-by-sprinkle, if you will
8. 1. The Blueprint aka The Bowl
Lay out a plan
Something to hold all of your goals and objections
Having a bowl (or plan) makes for less clean- ups!
THE PLAN
More ice cream
I like it!
9. 2. Objectives aka the Ice Cream Flavor
What are your goals?
What’s the endgame, the ideal outcome?
Make them generic or specific
Vanilla or Crazy Coffee Toffee Creamy Crunch Surprise?
Is that last one real? Can we try it? Like, NOW?
10. 3. Ideas aka the Toppings
Brain dump!
Genius ideas come from brainstorming overload
Combine several ideas (and toppings of course) to reach brilliance!
11. 4. Execution aka the Spoon
Can’t enjoy the ice cream
without the spoon!
Need the right tools to reap
the benefits of your plan
CMS? Responsive Design? (we
can help with that).
I’ve got the
Ice Cream,
Ceeonsoft’s
got the
Strategy!
12. 5. Presence aka the Instagram Photo
In what light (or filter) do you want your customers to see you? Through Walden, as a funny brand?
Share your work, let people know about it so they can enjoy it too (don’t worry, the ice cream is all for you)
